CVE-2019-9851 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The SLES security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for SLES:15.1.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libreoffice-gtk2 package and not the libreoffice-gtk2 package as distributed by SLES.
LibreOffice is typically bundled with LibreLogo, a programmable turtle vector graphics script, which can execute arbitrary python commands contained with the document it is launched from. Protection was added, to address CVE-2019-9848, to block calling LibreLogo from document event script handers, e.g. mouse over. However LibreOffice also has a separate feature where documents can specify that pre-installed scripts can be executed on various global script events such as document-open, etc. In the fixed versions, global script event handlers are validated equivalently to document script event handlers. This issue affects: Document Foundation LibreOffice versions prior to 6.2.6.
